Inside Potteries Museum and Art Gallery as £5m overhaul continues
The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Hanley is undergoing a £5 million transformation that promises to reshape the cultural hub.
A multi‑million contract awarded to Seddon will deliver a new corner entrance, a bright foyer café bar with retail space and an open terrace, while carving out dedicated space for artists and upgrading visitor facilities.
A recent tour by Arts Council England’s capital team highlighted the strong collaboration between the contractor and museum staff and praised the project’s impact on city‑wide arts provision.
Local officials, including councillor Sarah Hill, hail the investment as a landmark moment for Stoke‑on‑Trent, emphasizing its role in revitalising the city’s cultural landscape. The museum now welcomes visitors to the Spitfire Gallery, café, and a programme of events in its theatre.
